New Motability Scheme update for people on PIP and other disability benefits

The other phone call I've made is to the garage.
We've had an email telling us to book our car in for a service now it's 12 months old.

Except the manual says that servicing is due every 2 years.
I suspect this is a minor #scam on behalf of the main dealers - many people are used to annual services but this is no longer necessary with many EVs.

If we'd have just taken the email at face value, we'd have had to pay for it because the #Motability lease will only cover the correct service intervals.

I've been doom-reading about the changes to the #motability scheme.

Sacha's car is on the #motabilityscheme due to her multiple disabilities and is essential for her wellbeing.

I honestly don't know how much I'm reading is paranoia or is actually going to affect us.

We are in the fortunate position that, if push came to shove, we could afford to go onto a standard lease, but it would take a few sacrifices, and I suspect insurance costs might be high (let alone the stress of the annual renewal dance).

We'll find out when her renewal comes along (assuming the Reform Company don't get elected and they decide to put down the disabled population).

Sigh.

"One driver said the #Motability app was “worse than having spyware on your phone” and that he had “had computer viruses that are less intrusive”."
